Peter Phillips

Peter Phillips (1920 – 2012) was a British writer known for a series of science fiction stories published between 1948 and 1958. His best-known story is Dreams Are Sacred (1948), an early example of a shared dream story facilitated by a device. Phillips wrote another highly regarded story the following year, Manna. This tale involves the ghosts of medieval monks trapped in an old monastery; they are able to benefit from a modern canned super-food thanks to blurred timelines, and engage in poltergeist activity. Like many of the author's works, this story is written with a great deal of humour. ...
